Hi Steve, EnviroNetrs,

Slightly off topic, yet I will post to the list anyway.

<I don't disagree at all about having to find another source of energy other 
than fossil fuel. Hyman Rickover talked about this over 50-years ago. He 
talked about "Peak-oil", but nobody seemed to listen....even now. The fact 
is, oil is the biggest "American Interest" that we have in the middle east. 
If there is some other reason of why we would be so involved there, I am 
willing to listen.>

Global "Follow Me"  egos, spirits, which might be good or bad as they roll out.
 If we have a good thing; albeit confusing and filled with problems, called 
 democracy, and they don't should we spread the faith to other humans.

Economic Growth by selling products and services to this region.
 Hey it's an opportunity!!  For us and also them.
